This paper proposes a whole process method of multi-quadrotors from detecting and locating to encircle and track targets. The reconnaissance quadrotor realizes accurate target detection based on the one-stage target detector of convolutional neural network. Then, based on a pinhole camera projection
This paper presents a collaborative control method based on payload-leading for the multi-quadrotor transportation systems. The goal is to keep the relative distance between the quadrotors and the payload as constant as possible during the transportation, so as to ensure the stable attitude of the p…
To ensure robust flight of multiple quadrotors in unknown environments, this letter proposes a distributed cooperative control algorithm with a separation-merge mechanism to solve the problem of safe flight and formation reconfiguration. The separation-merge framework integrates the obstacle avoidan
This letter proposes a novel distributed cooperative control algorithm to address the problem of collision avoidance and obstacle avoidance for multiple quadrotors during the formation tracking process. The proposed algorithm couples collision avoidance and obstacle avoidance schemes into the contro
Grasping a moving target has been investigated extensively for fixed-base manipulator. However, such a task becomes much more challenging when the manipulator is free flying in the air with an UAV. Towards moving target grasping, this paper presents an aerial manipulator system composed of a hex-rot…
In the 2nd International Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Innovation Grand Prix (UAVGP) sponsored by Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), an autonomous barrel transportation mission was proposed for Rotary-wing UAV (RUAV) which aims at validating the feasibility of marine vertical replenishme…
